Determining Scott Pendlebury's greatest career game is no easy task — especially when there are 432 performances to choose from.

It is quite literally the most difficult assignment given how many matches, and high-level efforts, he's produced.

But in a week dedicated to celebrating and honouring the soon-to-be V/AFL games record holder, it became fitting that a moment of reflection and admiration of Pendlebury ensued.

To play 433 AFL games shouldn't be understated, and given his composed and pragmatic demeanour, on occasion, his incredible feats and longevity can be too easily dismissed.

Dreads Pendlebury was a menace, and the Bombers copped his full force on a sunny Anzac Day in 2011.

He had already became synonymous with big game players, but in front of a packed MCG, Pendles produced one of his greatest performances.

The Pies were near faultless that season, and against Essendon was no different, as Pendlebury helped himself to 34 possessions, three goals, 10 marks, eight clearances and eight tackles.

His poise and elite decision-making was no match for the Bombers.

Pendlebury claimed what would be the second of his four Anzac Day Medals.
